In this week's episode:

• Today is the United States of America's 233rd birthday. As such, many a patriotic song is played.


• John and I performed with two others this morning for the city parade. Although the levels were a bit high on some of the tracks, we manage to find a few to showcase our gig.


• The troublesome enclosure that houses our production drive has been replaced. The horrible grinding noise is gone, and the drive came with some useful extras.


• Learn the details of John's self-induced software surgery on his laptop.


• Corona makes her appearance... with somebody's car keys in hand.


• Karen bought John a special surprise at her local art fair. For the first time on radio, you can hear how redneck wind chimes sound.


• We introduce a new show, "The Mix," which airs on Wednesday nights from 10 to midnight.


• After some more chatter, we play a song a friend, John, and I wrote to commemorate September 11, 2001.


• What do terminally ill flies have in common with IHOP?


• As is also tradition, Seamus Kennedy makes an appearance to pay tribute to our armed forces.


• A listener (who claims to be high on antibiotics) writes in with some very interesting commentary about one of the cohosts.


• Learn all about Lola, the special person who tried to stalk me a couple years back.


• After one final track from today's gig, we close out with a live fireworks demonstration from Karen.

That does it for this week. We will be on vacation for the next seven days, but we will be back in two weeks. See you all then.
